Daniel,

AquaTerm works with gnuplot-4.2.rc1 on my G5 Mac built with OS X 10.4.8 and
Xcode-2.4 developer tools. I did nothing more than my old configuration for
gnuplot-4.0 to build it. All my old gnuplot and octave routines work
properly with AquaTerm.

The only issue that I have with AquaTerm is that octave now passes figure
numbers via the gnuplot command line, not with set term. This means that all
figures are Figure 0 for octave/gnuplot/aqua, which can become confusing
when several windows are open. The wxt terminal will have the same issue.
